collection contains scripts, many of which are annotated, and production material for nine films made by
Alfred Hitchcock as well his unproduced film THE SHORT NIGHT. The scripts for NORTH BY NORTHWEST and
VERTIGO are especially detailed due to Robertson's role as script supervisor on both of these films.
There are also book galleys for "Conversations with Picture Directors" featuring oral histories with
directors such as Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Leo McCarey, and Otto Preminger, among others.
